How to handle common code or projects

[MasterOfDingsbums]

Hi,

we are using mantis since a while for bugtracking and it mostly satisfies our needs, yet.
But meanwhile we have a lot of projects that are based on common code. So if a bug exists in one project the same bug often also appears to other projects. Currently we copy the bug but additionally there is a lot of manual work required to duplicate an issue correctly: The target version needs to be adapted, a dependency must be added in the properites,... .

Is there any better and easier way to arrange this in mantis?
We have also thought about reoriginzing the project managment, but didn't find a propoer solution yet. Each project needs to be handled anyway.

Thanks in advance
